The quality of the car is really a nightmare for me. Some major parts like steering wheel and suspension become faulty at just 55,000km mileage. As far as I know many other owners are also facing similar problem and have to claim warranty on that. If that is production fault then Hyundai should have just recall all the models and replace them. But instead Hyundai force owners to go thru all the nightmare of claiming warranty. When my parts broke down about 4 months back I sent it to a Hyundai service center in Puchong near IOI Mall. They claimed the 1st warranty but couldn't fix the problem. I have to wait for about 2 months for that fail fixing due to waiting time for insurance company to approve the warranty. Then I sent in again and need to wait again...it has been almost 2 months and I've just called up the service center and still no news on that. Sigh...no wonder this car is lesser and lesser to be seen on the road. I believe most owners have gave up and sold it after just 2-3 years owning it.
No, I would not recommend this car

    Design. (Very fun to customize, many accessories in after market.)
    Comfort. (Nice leather seat, the seat easy cold.)
    ***Lousy suspension!! (My double cab is better than this car) (2 years change absorber [Weekend car only 3000+km in that time!!])
    *Receive the car 1 week the reverse camera not functioning.
    *Sometime the touch screen, black screen and no music.

1.8 Premium (2015)
Bought new, Owned for 3 Years
Fuel Economy: 8.4 km/litre (11.9 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    Quiet, cold AC, good fuel economy as long as you're moving (reached 5.5l/100km on highway)
    Very roomy
    Stylish design
    Acceleration is ok but there is a delay in response.
    Terrible suspension, expect to bounce all over with fishtailing. Quiet scary when it happens especially at higher speeds on highway.
    Handling.
    Short lifespan of parts. In 2.5 years I've had to change the brake pads, AC blower, steering rack (a problem that the SC still cannot solve)
    2 airbags only! Seriously
To Improve
Price. For the price might as well go with cerato
Airbags
Parts should actually last more than a year. Major component failure so early is not features of a quality carmaker.
Handling and suspension!
No, I would not recommend this car
